[Q] upgrading stock 4.1.2 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys my brother took my phone after i buy it, he rooted and also installed 4.1.2
Android version 4.1.2
baseband version I9300XXELKC
kernel version 3.0.31-566833 [email protected]#1 SMP PREEMPT fri nov 30
build number JZO54K.I9300XXELKC
great, now he's on vacation cant communicate with him, so ive been checking roms and stuff and ive found that all of the latest ROM says for
4.1.2 XXELLA mine is XXELKC so how do i upgrade that, if it's an upgrade lol, am i able to do that? please can anyone tell me what to download and if it's safe.
Thanks!

I suggest you move to custom. If you're in stock just for battery, I suggest you check out Phenomenal kernel. Omega v36 is what you're looking for.

So if i flash Omega v36 with odin on my s3 it will auto change from XXELKC TO EXXELLA version?

No need of Odin mate .. Do you have cwm installed? If not install cwm, transfer the zip file ( omega rom) and select install from .zip file.

Kinda Noobie here
hello,
2 month back i brought unlocked i777 from ebay. It got rooted and unlocked with Android version 2.3.4, baseband i777UCKH7 and kernel version 2.6.35.7.
It got super user app (so i think its rooted). But the CMW is not installed. i checked in recovery mode (it show some android recovery).
So now i m thinkin of installing the latest AOKP ROM (with siyah kernel) but not sure wat to flash first.
should i root again first (root + CWM) then install AOKP. then change the kernel.
or root then kernel then AOKP ?
also i m confuse which root method should i use for installing CWM in gingerbread .

Please make sure you're running a safe kernel otherwise you'll brick your phone.
i read that guide thread .. as my phone got Superuser, i m using the Mobile odin method [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081].
As i m on gingerbread, i need to use gingerbread kernel to install clockwork model. i.e Entropy512's Daily Driver or Siyah 2.6.
but i wanna intall ICS rom , so after installing siyah 2.6 should is flash with latest AOKP on it ? will siyah 2.6 support the latest AOKP ?

Install kernel with cwm.
Boot to recovery and install aokp rom
Done
Every rom install contains a kernel that works with the rom. Doesn't matter what you had before.

When you flash the custom kernel with CWM, you can then user CWM to flash whichever ROM you wish. I.E. AOKP

Siyah or CF-root kernel?

Hi XDA-friends,
I have the ICS 4.0.3 and will update on stock 4.0.4 XWLPX.
Should I root my phone with Siyah kernel v4.1.4 or with CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPX-v5.6-CWM5 ??
Also I would like to know can I use with S2 the new Odin 3.07 or just Odin 1.85 ?
Thanks in advice
Siyah, because you will have more features.
And it doesn't matter which version of Odin will you use. Only important thing is that Odin should be for SII.
I personally use Siyah, mainly for the dual boot facility. However, as compared to other kernels like CF,dorimanx etc it is a little more power hungry. So if battery life is important to you, you might want to choose another kernel. Like the xda mantra goes, theres no best ROM/Kernel etc. try it out and see whats best for you based on what you want from it.
I would say Siyah which has more features .. And Siyah never disappointed nobody ! it's very easy to tweaks, and it run smooth !
Siyah is lot of feature...and you can dual boot jelly bean and ics..

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I will try then with siyah kernel.
But which Odin version should I use, the new Odin 3.07 or old Odin 1.85 ?
Thanks
I use the new odin for all my flash, all works without any problem !
Use odin3 1.85
Or Google
Which Odin is Compatible with SGS II
Please Hit Thanks || It won't Cost You

Do not root with cf-root! All 4.0.4 kernels have the mmc-superbrick-bug, and if you wipe from the recovery which comes with cf-root, you will get a hardbrick. Siyah is safe.

I would recommend you Siyah kernel. It is very customizable and very easy to set up with extweaks app :good:

Hey Spiralzz, you are very right! I have read about this bug too. Listen my phone details are as follows:
GT-I9100
Andriod version 4.0.4
Baseband version I9100XXLQ6
Kernel version I9100XWLPT
And I haven't done the rooting as yet. Now should I directly flash Siyah Kernel using ODIN or flash CWM recovery and then install from zip? Also which custom recovery and Siyah kernel version should I use for my phone? The Siyah kernel comes with a root right?
Thanks in advance!

You mean I should flash Siyah 4.1.5 and that will install the recovery along as well then I should flash a new kernel(Siyah v5.0.1) that supports latest roms right?

Siyah kernel

A couple of questions

Hey everyone, I just bought a used unlocked Galaxy S2 I9100 and I've been reading guides all day long about rooting, roms, flashing etc.
The phone came with Ressurection Remix and Siyah kernel, here are the full details:
Model Number
GT-I9100
Android Version
4.1.2
Baseband version
I9100XXLPX
Kernel version
3.0.31-Siyah-s2-v5.0.1+
[email protected] #6
SMP PREEMPT Sun Nov 11 12:25:24 PST 2012
AOKP version
M1
Build number
Resurrection Remix JB v3.1.2 by Westcrip
The question is how do I go back to the stock kernel and stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ? A lot of guides around here talk about backing-up your phone but I guess that doesn't apply to me since I don't have any apps/contacts ?
If I want to install a different kernel do I just apply it with Odin over the current one or do I have to uninstall it first ?
I might have more questions later so bear with me as I don't want to brick my phone...yet :laugh:

You're mixing kernels and radios, kernels are for booting up your system. Basically it's a system core. Radio is for RIL, signal and data.
